Born Seven weeks early and weighing only 4lbs. 2 oz., 20th March,

his siblings, Harry earned all but four credits on his Bachelor
of Arts degree. While at York University, he was stricken with
schizophrenia at age 19, so severely that he was hospitalized
in Vancouver from time to time where he had moved to be closer
to his family. Cherished Husband and best friend of Silvana

Harry will be sadly missed by many aunts, uncles, cousins,
nieces and nephews. In Spite of his long and debilitating illness,
Harry held onto his senses: sense of family, sense of loyalty,

and grace under a very heavy burden will always be remembered
with loving pride by his family who thank God for the great gift
his life has been to all of us. Prayers will be offered on Wednesday,
